"If he is good enough for Ted Nugent, he is good enough for me!" Palin wrote on her Facebook page Wednesday.

Palin's post was primarily an endorsement of Katrina Pierson, who is challenging Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) for his seat. The former vice presidential candidate said like Pierson, Abbott "has overcome many personal obstacles and challenges, which have made him a believer in the power of liberty and the need to defend our freedoms from the overreach of an out-of-control federal government."
